Oscar Spencer recently presented Grain, a new strongly-typed, high-level language that compiles to WebAssembly. Grain includes functional programming features (e.g., type inference, pattern matching, ...

FROM BARE METAL TO HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGES Before the emergence of high-level programming languages, machines were embedded with hardware-specific enabling languages designed for a specific logic.

A high-level programming language is easy for coders to work with because it is far more abstract than how computers need to process commands – purely in terms of binary code (1s and 0s).

But he ultimately won the respect of his boss, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, by creating a version of a high-level programming language for the Apple II computer in just six days.
